I've been having the same problem. Also found it worked when I switched to a static IP. With DHCP enabled, I can manually edit resolve.conf to contain the address of my ISPs DNS server and emerge works fine. Forgive my ignorance (I'm new to this), but am I missing some important step in configuration? I move between networks quite a lot (i.e. at least once a day), and it would be good to be able to rely on DHCP to do this for me with manual intervention.Cheers,Cormac
